An exciting foot race was witnessed
in the railroad yard last Tuesday be-
tween Customs Officer Murphy and a
tramp. The officer discovered the
tramp in car, seized him and while
taking him to the Office to give an ac-
count of himself, he (the tramp made
ii break for liberty, and proving him
self more fleet footed than the officer,
made good his escape. Were it not
that Mr.. Murphy was suffering at the
time with a severe headache, the re-

The Streets of Gibraltar.

The main street of the town through which
we walked to the Hotel Royal was narrow
and crooked. All sorts of people were pass
ing to and fro-Spaniards, Englishmen, Ital-
ians, Greeks, Jews, Moors, sailors and red
coated British soldiers intermingled with
horses, donkeys and goats. The smaller
streets leading off from the principal one are
short and narrow, either running down to
the seaside Notifications and ramparts or up
ward toward the hillside, sometimes being
merely huge stairs, up and down which the
donkeys tread with secure and careful steps,
Few of the buildings have any merit in an
architectural sense; houses rise in ranges up
the steep ACTIVITY, many of them being col
ored with a blush tint or a dirty yellow,
which makes them ugly and unattractive
In short, the picturesque appearance which
pleased us so much from the bay quite disap-
peared when we entered the town.-Boston

Curiosity of City People.

1t is astonishing how little it takes to pro-
woke the gathering of crowd. | thought of
this yesterday when l counted a couple of
hundred men and women blocking the side
walk on lower Fulton street as they watched
man hosting an iron beam into place on
the elevated railroad structure. A little
further ON there were nearly fifty people
erowding and craning their necks to see a
man draw waxed threads through shoe soles.
A couple of automatic figures going through
gynmastic exercises were enough to hold the
attention of half hundred persons for sev-
eIsl minutes at another store window, and
t9e spectacle of man pulling a string of
tiolasses candy from hook excited the
furious gaze of crowd of people who fairly
blocked the sidewalk. Hardly one of these
people but had long lived in the city, and yet
they displayed a curiosity that would have
excited their derision il they had seen it
practiced by their country cousins. Ram

But that does not prevent the coupon
crusher from being tried upon its consti-
tutionality in some other case, and it

State and the Supreme Court rs 10 wheih-
er The State can, by any means, deprive
the citizen Of using the coupon.
The long and persistent fight OF the
creditors has no feature in it that prom
i,es any chance to the state that they will
give up the big slice of the debt by
the Riddlebcrger bill after the first deci
sion. that showed them a protection for
the coupon against the coupon killer
legislation.
We have tried in every way known TO
common sense 10 explain that AN act
repudiating The whole debt would not
affect the coupon, and while the coupon
is valid the creditors hold the key to the
situation and can lorce the State ont Of
her revenue until she would ultimately
be compelled TO take measures to settle
the debi
If the real interest that the people have
in this matter could be separated from
the politics Of IT, then men could see the
difference between the value Of the ma

capital that means ofice-holdng
Aswc said before, there is no use In
forcing an issue between the State and
the Federal courts into the present can
yass. The Democracy has the power
and the position to win the election, and
can do it without further involving the
party in question that belongs to the
courts
If the injunction is sustained it will
break up the present policy of the State,
but if IT lis dissolved that will not break mp
the fight of the creditors
